Perimeter Institute, revitalized/revitalizing downtowns in both Waterloo and Kitchener, a vibrant high tech community (that involves more than just RIM), Grand River Regional Cancer Centre next door in Kitchener, incredible R&D being done into cool things like quantum computing and nanotech, plenty of places to walk and bike (including RIM Park and the Grand River Trail), next door to the unbearable cuteness of St. Jacobs, St. Jacobs Farmers' Market, an excellent library, the Busker Carnival, Vincenzo's... off the top of my head.
(And I desperately hope you're kidding about Harmony Lunch.) :)
Summer festivals like the Busker festival and Jazz festival, and the Dandelion festival in Waterloo Park, and the Multicultural festival in Victoria Park (well,that's Kitchener). And the lights in downtown in the winter, and the beautiful flowers in the summer.
